Chapter 1
by. SilverWolf-Ryuki
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade, what did you expect?
"Kai…" A voice said from the other side of the table, opposite of where a teen with blue hair sat. "You know what I expect in our new project. You do know what I expect you to accomplish, right? Do I need to remind you once more that I do not accept failure?"
"No grandfather…you do not need to…"
"Good. And just incase you…fail, I have a backup team ready for replacement."
"You mean the Demolition Boyz…"
"Good, your memory isn't as bad as I thought."
"I won't fail. But incase Rei's friends do, send them when I am ready…"
---
"Where's Kai?"
Mariam frowned and looked at Ozuma; they were supposed to meet Kai here. It was unlikely that the blue-haired teen was late – he never was, usually.
"He isn't LATE, is he? Maybe spending time with Tyson had some side-effects…" Ozuma offered. In return, He got the 'You've-got-to-be-joking' look from Mariam.
"No, and I have not been spending…time…with that imbecile. Do check your source of time, for it seems to be quite unreliable. You came here 25 minutes early."
The familiar voice dripped with sarcasm as Kai walked in from behind, the door slid close behind him.
"Ah, Kai, you are finally here." Mariam said, stressing the word finally. Kai glared daggers at the dark-haired girl, who smirked in return. Ozuma sighed.
"Right, then, how is the project?" Ozuma quickly, and cleverly, changed the subject before the 2 started to rip each other apart limb by limb.
"Voltaire thinks I am not prepared, therefore, he has a backup team ready incase of failure."
Ozuma laughed, as if mocking Voltaire's judgment. "You, Kai Hiwatari, not ready? What a joke. He seems to not know you as well as I thought."
"He isn't perfect…" Mariam noted, glancing at Kai, who closed his eyes and ignored it. "Is he?"
"No human is perfect…" Ozuma gave the words of wisdom, Kai nodded.
"No human is perfect." Kai said. "Some people, they just aren't completely human."
"Anyhow…" Mariam said loudly, before the subject could spread. "What about the outline of the project…"

Voltaire examined the data Kai provided on the members he chose and the members that he predicts that Rei will choose. The 2 of them that Kai chose had a pretty high level, close to Kai's. The other 2 of them were also pretty strong, and the other's speed is quite amazing…it all balances out.
Maybe the Demolition Boyz are not required in the upcoming fight…Voltaire thought, they should be prepared anyways…after all, the risk of any of the already chosen ones dying is pretty high…
---
"Do you understand, now?" Kai eyed both Mariam and Ozuma, who nodded. "Good."
"Who are the 3 others?"
"Rei and his 2 friends…"
Mariam looked at Kai with her, once again, 'you've-got-to-be-joking' look. Kai glared back at her.
"I don't joke, Mariam."
With that, the blue-haired teen walked off, leaving Ozuma and Mariam stunned with his decision…

"DRAGOON, HYPER VICTORY TORNADO!!!"
"DRIGGER, TIGER CLAW!!!"
The two Beyblade smashed against each other, creating unwanted sparks. The tiger roared, as did the dragon. Both Rei and Tyson pushed themselves to the max, until…
"That is enough."
The day has come; the voice has finally said those words, the words that Tyson hoped to hear from that voice. Kai looked from the surprised Rei, to the stunned and numb Tyson.
"Did Kai just say that's enough?" Tyson whispered to chief.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I make myself unclear? I said that is enough, for that fight. I need to speak with you, Rei." Kai said. "As for you, Tyson, you can train with Max until Rei finishes his chat with me."
And the mention of more training triggered the waterfalls from the once stunned beyblader.
---
"What's up, Kai?" Rei looked at Kai, confused. Kai just sighed and flicked his hair out of his face. He looked at Rei with a dead serious glare…
"Rei, can you kill?"
---
"Of course, no human is perfect, Boris."
"Then, Voltaire, why do you say -?"
"Boris, listen carefully to what I have said. No human is perfect…"

Ryuki: I know, I know, short chapter, totally unlike me. But hey, I've got to get it started, right? This chapter is somewhat crap, live with it, expect better in the next chap. :-) I would say RR, but that wouldn't be right, since you've already read it. So…REVIEW!
